Penguin Focuses on Roc & Ace
I just received an email from online marketing at Penguin Group. It seems the popular publisher’s blog (http://us.penguingroup.com/static/html/blogs/index.php) is focusing on their science fiction/ fantasy imprints, Roc and Ace over the next four weeks. Check out the behind-the-scenes look at one of the best and most well-known scifi publishers in the biz!
UPDATE (thanks to Diana Pharoh Francis):
Week 1: General introduction to the Imprint (a brief history, list of key authors), the Imprint’s staff. Today we’re going to post introductions to Ginjer Buchanan and Susan Allison, on Thursday we’re going to post intro’s to the Associate Editors (Anne Sowards and Jessica Wade), and on Friday we’re going to post intro’s to the Editorial Assistants (Danielle Stockely and Cameron Dufty).
Week 2: Interviews with the Imprint’s staff. For R&A we’re running an interview with the Editor-in-Chief Ginjer Buchanan, with Tina Anderson from Publicity, and an interview in which each of the Assistants interview each other.
Week 3: Survey of previously published great books that have defined the character of the Imprint, current big name authors and a review of up and coming stars. Also an opportunity for authors to post updates as to what they’re currently working on.
Week 4: Guest blogger will write week-in-the-life style posts. The R&A guest blogger will be Jessica Wade

Is it sad that as soon as I see the word “penguin” in your post’s title I think you’re talking about Linux?

Wow, that is cool… I’ll have to take a look and see what they have coming out the next few months.
